Argentinian Caramel Cream / Dulce de Leche |
|
Serves: 4
ARGENTINA
This thick, sweet, sauce-like caramel is Argentina’s national dessert. It turns up at highfalutin restaurants and homey eateries, spooned over everything from fruit to cake to ice cream. It’s also good eaten right off the spoon. Dulce de leche (literally "milk sweet") isn’t particularly difficult to make, but it does require conscientious stirring to keep the caramel from boiling over. Be comforted by the fact that it keeps for months and a little goes a long way.
1 quart milk, whole (see note)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture briskly, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until thick, caramel colored, and reduced by half, 30 to 40 minutes. You’ll need to adjust the heat, now up, now down, to keep the mixture at a brisk simmer, but without it boiling over. The traditional test for doneness is to pour a spoonful of caramel cream on a plate. When it gathers in a thick puddle and no longer runs to the edges, the mixture is ready. Remove the vanilla bean with tongs and discard.
2. Transfer the caramel cream to a serving bowl and cool to room temperature. You can eat it now or cover and refrigerate if you prefer to serve it chilled.
Serves 4 to 6
Note: You must use whole milk for dulce de leche. Skim milk will burn during the reduction process.
